I agree.

I think it's impossible to evaluate anews fairly due to the overt sustained barrage of malicious trolling.
Literally a harassment campaign, sometimes targeting specific people, sometimes the whole team or anyone related.
It's really unfortunate how that clouds this discussion, since harassment is not healthy for any biosphere, even if ya'll are tough skinned enough to bear it.

That said, some weeks are better than others around here. It has to do with the topics and the amount of free time the more despicable trolls have on their hand.

Yes, all anons are trolly, some from time to time, some all the time. The problem is when some people are hogging the stage by adopting multiple nicknames and engaging in long rants against themselves, trying to drag their pet unrelated topics to every discussion. Or when it's just outright insults and baiting.

After all that toxicity it kinda makes me want to uhhhh "sew with a ball of messy yarn" or some bullshit, or just turn off the computer, which is a great thing really. People get used to reading things in the worst tone, on the defensive. Makes it hard to tell friend from foe. Some people here would get along better with each other if they were more charitable, but troll ratio makes people not even bother. It's hard to put the effort to be nice.
